Hello again...
Quite often I get asked if we can connect to XLX reflectors with our repeater. Interesting enough, the answer appears to be probably!?
I wrote a little script called "xlx351d-a-start.sh":
#!/bin/bash
# script to automatically connect
# A port to XLX351D using the g2_link tool
# disconnect first
/usr/bin/nc -u -w 1 10.0.0.2 30003 <<EOF
um A
EOF
#
sleep 3
# disconnect dplus
echo "? ? ? ?U" >/dstar/tmp/link-a
#
sleep 3
# first connect with netcat to port
# then connect to XLX351D
/usr/bin/nc -u -w 1 10.0.0.2 30003 <<EOF
lm AXLX351D
EOF
exit 0
=======================
Made it executable and then ran it. Sure enough it connected. The gateway was registered on the XLX dashboard with the DCS protocol (that is how it is supposed to be if you look at the gwys.txt file). After a minute or so, it times out.
g2_link.log file shows:

Since the XLX connection is being made as DCS 30051 UDP connection and other DCS connections stay connected:

Wondering why the XLX version does not?
